protests around the world his funeral will take place on tuesday in houston texas where he grew up. this is david up in his room he can keep up to date with the latest news on our web site that's e.w. dot com follow us on twitter and instagram as well as he told me to use the told me a lot of fun that's it for me stay safe. i'm male and i'm good welcome to the 2nd season on the green from the planet on the brink of disaster relief is long and indefinite experts about one question how to change such a poll or a sense. of. we

. shouldn't talk don't see because the left was doing and sheeley a key quote by him going shielded from the time of his imprisonment maintains that

art cannot be modern. this was an extremely radical claim to make which on the one hand shows the rebellious side of this very young painter. and at the same time summarizes the essence of viennese modernism it seemed which was not a modernism that promised a glorious future or claim to improve the human condition or bring mankind happiness but. it was far more and introspection or returned to one's inner self. is a self critical modernism to take them in the known and it was this return to the self they gave modernist viennese art of power and an appeal that other art movements were lacking. peacefully perk in 3 songs good is of no bond.

the real part museum in vienna houses the world's most comprehensive collection of works by a go and see them. the old collective good of lupul it began acquiring the oil paintings washes was a colorless and drawings in the 1950 s. his passion for the austrian pain to serve to revive interest in an artist who otherwise may well have been forgotten. i was a not just with an enormous practice i also had 3 children and a crazy husband i don't mean that disparagingly but in the sense that he could take huge 1000 things he said right from the start that he was a great artist who was not appreciated. back in the 1950 s. no one gave she never thought. you could export and import his works without austria's federal monuments authority taking any interest and people said my husband was crazy collecting she was what. she was what.

sheila sets the standards set the standard for the generations of contemporary artists who followed him in the 20th and 21st century as he set new rules for artists he said an artist is self sufficient a rebel and all voluntary black and agitator an artist works for no one but himself . sheilas works were considered obscene and we know he spent a brief time in jail but in reality his works were exactly the opposite they were characterized by an almost painful clarity and openness a rawness and purity. and when you see the pictures here you notice that he actually approached all of his subjects his flowers nudes and landscapes all in the same way always with the same empathy and devotion went but i think.

she was naked truth is effective for another vienna museum the other betina its director has a knack for staging exhibitions that pull in the crowds he acknowledges a deep personal fascination with shiva is pizzas and cut the 2 needed to say that any serious encounter with art offers a window of self discovery a confrontation in which we wrestle with the existential questions that affect us is a platitude. it's a big claim and very often exaggerated but it's true of aegon sheila i don't think anyone can view a single one of his news without questioning not just the artist's stance on sexuality nudity and vulnerability but their own as well that. if you find the right. words. from. the emotional encounter with a gun sheila's work is due not only to the delight i take of his incredible

virtuosity as an artist but also an encounter and a confrontation with myself. legend has it that a gun sheila never used any razor and needed very little time to produce a drawing sometimes no more than a few minutes. later this enormous energy. was it an act of liberation and if so from what. the world's leading experts on a gone sheila is jane cally of from new york her answer to these questions is closely linked to the vienna academy of fine arts. for sheila obviously the. principal fear. for expressing human existence in all of its

diversity and complexity was the human body. i think that he was one of the greatest 1st students of and then masters of the human form he could draw it with perfect accuracy but since he had such a complete command over the body he could also deadened it and move it and distort it and make it tell a story and i think sheila was very interested to explore this question people look at his war. and they say this. it's so terrify it's so

ugly and he even comments that i have doubtless pated terrible pictures do they believe i did it on purpose just to shock the borsch was see this is never been the case but there are specters that are brought forth by longing and i have painted such specters not because i enjoyed it i just had to. memories of it on sheila's childhood in his birthplace the austrian town of turin on the down new. heavy steam trains shook the sheila family home by bray sions could be seen and felt in the apartment. and trains with the subject of young a guns 1st drawings. his father she was station master in 2 and

a key role in the austria-hungary an empire a hot tempered man he sensed his son's exceptional talent very early on. and you can see through these a few that say this unit those one very revealing story is where having noticed how his son spent all his time drawing a dog she loved bought him a drawing pad and told him that every day after doing his latin homework he should drop picture on one page and then he'd look at it when it was filled. it up sheila evidently thought this would give him a few weeks peace. he gave a go on the exercise book in the morning when he returned home for lunch he saw that all the pages had already been filled and that they were strewn all over the apartment. he had a fit and burnt the drawings. this story tells us that a gun father was willing to foster his son's talent but only on his own terms.

in other words the father specified that one hour a day would be sufficient to foster his son's artistic talents. so you see a guy who didn't have mozart's father it otherwise would have taken his cue from his son and realized that what he was offering in terms of fostering a dance talent was nowhere near enough. so being the. 'd by all appearances the family led a comfortable middle class life. the 3 children grew up in safety and prosperity ready. but even today these rooms seem to tell a different story. 'd around the year 1908 does she live began to suffer from the symptoms of untreated syphilis. as he succumbed to insanity the family stable life became unhinged.

who are you and what are you doing here gatty. i was born here in 1941 and i make on this younger sister. and that's where he slept out of the over there in the corner on the other side is melanie's bed she was that elder sister you lived here for many years what memories do you still have feelings have fished out before so much happened here but i can't remember at all they say you and your brother and sister had a very comfortable life here he says sylvia's friend things around always what they

seem. whenever we went out we were different in here a lot of things happened my father has to see us. we didn't really understand what was happening he lived perhaps melanie knew more do you want to tell us about it. yes he so often about stay over there. we children must already have been asleep when suddenly we heard loud noises coming from our parents' bedroom where they arguing. arguing my mother of all people arguing with my father no she was patience personified she put up with everything so what happened. for you my he lit a fire i heard him opening the stove door and be off then i got up again it was the

middle of the night 5 my father was burning stacks of paper i didn't know what exactly was that of those people i only found out later that he burned all of our shareholdings so. the glow from the fire fell on his face his. face those eyes all the illuminated face of a father who had gone mad so it was like to get bottom and fight us. how did you handle it did you talk to your brother about it but i talk about it with him by then my brother was living in closed annoyed. we never discussed my

father i shant let's look at a glance work that was his way of talking about it. art historians spend a lot of time trying to decode she lives off an enigma and allegorical iconography . is the key to his in a world. the art center in the small town of google near vienna was once a psychiatric institute that used therapy as a form of treatment for its patients today it's an onsite assisted living facility called the house of artists which enables patients to live independently as they pursue artistic work the intensity of the works on display here is reminiscent of

sheila and i are those limits of. the life you live was born into wasn't necessarily a good one it was a hard struggle. as a child he witnessed his father's outings to vienna to visit prostitutes where he can crack the disease that ultimately destroyed him and the whole family. for. after failing his classes egon schiele it was sent to a new school in close to annoy book in 1902 at the age of 12 you know only spend the weekends with his family in tow and. but he continued to struggle at school and had to repeat a great for the 2nd time. in the years 9041905 it got in there with the host next family. their son peter was a renowned doctor and researcher in the field of radiology. the mysterious images illuminating the inner workings of the human body captivated 14 year old egon

a fascination that resurfaces in his. disprove. back then very few people had access to x. ray images they were exclusively available to specialists they could be projected in a lecture hall via an epi di a scope that was possible but they weren't widely viewed by the public like they are today so there was very little public awareness about x. rays. and it's likely that his personal relationship with holtz connect was formative for sheila. because it gave him this privileged access to x. rays and. she was primary focus was on composition he left interpretation to others hands are an

important means of expression and feature prominently in sheila's work but despite countless interpretation attempts their message remains an enigma. 2 perhaps clues to their meaning can be found at vienna's crime museum a place packed with eerie and sinister exhibits and fascinating records of hands that could lead us back to a gun sheila. it isn't the place what i have here in front of me is what's known as a criminal's album. such albums were put together to document the mug shots of sentenced criminals being held in city jails. in. the comedian hands of course have always played a major role in criminal investigations. as hans can have telling markings. and best of all.

he could not attend smith for instance will have conspicuous marks on his thumbs from constantly pressing down on the metal. and a cobbler will have marks on the balls of islam from holding a shoe hammer. the so different criteria served as identifying features common. hands in various positions feature prominently in these photos really does. and it can't be ruled out that sheila was influenced by this defining feature of criminal record photography to feel full to conservation of not missing out. after his father's death she then moved with his mother to vienna in 1006 to live with his well situated maternal uncle and guardian check. also a railway official he allowed his 16 year old nephew to rent his 1st studio.

his uncle was a member of the n.-s. patrician class with its policies and music. his life style met a lasting impression on a gun. the family agreed to allow a gun to drop out of school and pursue a career as an artist sheila took the entrance examination to the academy of fine arts and passed with distinction in october $906.00 at the age of 16 he became its youngest student. she. is too smart and too fast for the academy and very often the teacher would give. long assignments you know of a project that they would have several hours to work on and he would come in at the last minute and do it you know 1015 minutes what the other student had been working on for hours he. very very quickly.

outgrew the cat and me and of course his professor creep and carol hated hair for that because he didn't listen. he had his eye and. one who was such an upstart was a bad influence for the other students as well she was frustrated by the academy's conservative ism. he left the school in 99 without a diploma and founded the noise her own new group with other dissatisfied students . the exhibitions attracted interest among those impressed by the 19 year olds personal style was.

this seemingly trivial and basic watercolor of a new girl is probably one of the most revolutionary works from the start of a great career. painted in 1910 it's part of the now largely lost series. the subject was sheila's 15 year old sister getty so he probably had to choose her because he couldn't afford other models. the totally unnatural coloring the bilious green and yellow in the face the blood red stumps that we see here they mark the birth of expressionism. well the artist has dared to defy the law of imitation the subject itself breaks taboos its depiction of the exposed genitals stops at nothing but this is not pornography to be looked at in secret so to speak. so it's no it's a work of art indeed it's a key piece not only of early austrian expressionism but also of aidan sheila's

entire. so. today she exhibitions don't come with signs barring admissions for girls and young women as they did in the us as latest the 1970 s. but how is this charged as it is with erotic energy perceived by the public today can modern sensibilities stomachs sexually explicit work hard tom. foreman explains have no problem with explicit depictions. i think it's good if there's a place in society where such things can be addressed and shown. there is a place for open and sensible discourse. where the full emotional impact of such things can be experienced and confronted.

but there are 2 things that must be stressed. today we have a different awareness and where the justified requirements of child protection are concerned we must of course be careful what we show. on the other hand artists not only have a right but also a duty to address taboos and invite social discourse and sheila's great merit is that along with sigmund freud both incidentally from vienna he brought the sexuality of children in adolescence up out of the subconscious and depicted it for all to see. in the 1910 sheila wrote to his friend anton pashka. and to leave vienna very soon everyone envies me and conspires against me the city is black and everything follows rules i want to be alone i want to go to the b. he me in forest he was yearning for a place called cooma is the doctor still sheena referred to it has the dead city and in fact it was. the german population had been expelled and young czechs didn't

want to live in the old town center they'd built new houses on the outskirts. is the town was entirely empty cats roam the streets and it was just one house that was fit to serve as accommodation everything else was barricaded there were trees growing from attics the town was dead. i see the dead city as a key painting to understanding all his unrelenting isn't thought. it appears dreamlike as if the town were rising up from a river. of but stead there's no one in it. he repeatedly painted a part of the old town with a bird's eye view from the console not from the tower but from a long passage way from where if you look down you see exactly this part of the tunnel. you can still see almost every building today you can see this house this

house and this house and this long gable she had painted what he saw but he was shaped it to reflect his own sensibilities. last year for. the town that was called komal back then is modern day cesky chrome loft in the czech republic it was his mother's birthplace which she had often visited with his family as a child. it was those never fading childhood memories that gave him a powerful sense of belonging. she lives landscapes of kumar convey that to the viewer. it's clear this is where he wanted to live and work. in crew. fast ali if. everyone in crew malnutrition answers from vienna was coming from back then a criminal had only 7000 inhabitants and they all sort of painted from vienna. and

who should turn up but a 20 year old youth accompanied by his girlfriend a beautiful young woman they lived together they were married and friends from vienna also came like his colleague from the academy anton peshitta but also artists like me muffin austin a very eccentric man but on sundays the group would stroll through croom out to the main square is who. i'm foam and i'm hoping it's bottom they dressed unconventionally she she laughed parent we always wore a white suit and a white turret. because they observed people well and made loud remarks about passers by which of course didn't go down well with the locals to follow him on that so i imagine that fairly soon they got a brother chilly reception and people hadn't yet seen what he was painting at ma.

was told. was running north syria was a loyal companion but her relationship with iran she that was complicated. though he would later leave her to marry up in society his portraits are testimony to a deeply felt connection was. you must be very very noisy correct vyborg annoys. me vonnie the artist's life companion and his girl friday. what do you mean by that now it depended on the situation and how he was feeling when he needed me i tried to help him.

i was an encourager and often an overseer i kept an eye on the money to make sure that at least some was left over. and sometimes it was important to protect a gun from himself and i was a gun's favorite model that's helper sterrett in knows me. and what about love you worry going to his lover for many years. love love ego and. be loved by egon. if understanding someone or accepting him without the need for lots of questions and answers without asking why or what full means love then yes i loved him

gone ok i was simply there for him it was single minded. his home life was one deep feeling of rightness. there was never any decision making for him. he had a mission to fulfill and he came from somewhere or other. from up there all down there. i come from a very ordinary actually post circumstances i don't have a school leaving certificate but neither did. he so there were not a lot of opportunities open to me i was lucky i didn't have to work history i on my money as a model 1st with good stuff clint. again i was lucky and never had a baby with him and he recommended me to eat gone. and that turned into

a love story between 2 very different people. and him or her when i gave him oranges which he loved so much he accepted them with that. i was and that was perfectly natural for him he loved them and they belonged to him. and i was part of a life that he loved so much. that life was shaken by his imprisonment in the town jail after he and valley moved to ny lang but it was a traumatic experience as the agony and angst in the watercolors he completed behind bars show. on april 10th 1912 on the 1st day of the titanic's maiden

voyage 3 policeman knocked on sheila's door a 13 year old girl tatyana from more had been missing and she had come under suspicion of abducting and seducing the girl as well as disseminating pornographic material the artist was imprisoned pending trial when his case was brought before a judge $21.00 days later the 1st 2 charges were dropped and she was sentenced to 3 more days in prison for disseminating pornographic material. for decades the legacy of this episode proved a dilemma. a turnaround came in 963 with the visit of a young american art student. oh i had to find a large building and it was easy to find because it. was the only imposing building around to see so i did photograph it from the that and you could see the bars on the little windows so it was perfectly clear that there

had to be the building in which the shaded door was so then i went around to the front and. this is it this is the prison so we went right up to the door and there was an bear arms are there and i said who issued. the great goodman didn't she didn't he defend this until we started to shout and start oh i'm supposed to speak in english yes well he looked at me and he said i'm considering a steep division to carry your. own but i came all the way from texas but this i have a letter here from dr who shot speed the director of the arabic tina. please read it dean i'll be tina director for. the student cause her lucky break when the civil servant left at the stroke of noon

to enjoy a leisure lunch. and what our saw was exactly what she'd have drawn the corridor or the line mean grey wash along the corridor or the mob who pocket still there. so i took mine but all of works. are f. and nervously photographed the corridor really exact same photo as she was silent then the problem boys where which one was his cell round her had made an exact and drawing of his cell and on the heavy cell door there were bands of wood and then one of them had drawn what a previous prisoner had cut into the door with his knife he had inscribed his

initials and ha. lehi's is a retired dressmaker and even as a child was aware of noise debates on how to deal with its legacy of a gun sheila a man who had never invited who had put in prison and who came to be regarded as one of the 20th century's greatest artists. twice a week she sets out in remembrance of the artist to make a simple gesture of remarkable.

live in the title of a drawing of his cell he remarked that a single orange was the only light. that remark resonates with me because if you enter the cell now there is nothing matching remind you that he was there.

but the orange reminds us that this was the cell in which she was locked up. that's why i'm happy to do what i do and as long as i can keep bringing in orange hair. she that was badly shaken by his experience of incarceration he attempted to redefine himself and actively sought recognition as a refusal artist in european art circles he was already acknowledged as an exponent of austrian expressionism. what he lacked was an image boosting suggestion abroad you think it was fine and i think it was his serious intention to go to paris you can tell it from his letters in early 1914 he corresponded with several people and stated that he wanted to visit paris it seems he also found someone prepared to give him enough money for a longer stay so he definitely planned to go to paris. that the plan was watered by

the outbreak of the 1st world war. unlike his expressionist colleague oscar kokoschka who had moved to berlin she remained in austria good stuff claim to help get him into the association of austrian artists and she lamented exhibitions but it took more than 70 years before a gun sheila and viennese modernism contribution to european cultural history was recognised in france. for preview when the sound would bump into this triumphant temple of modernism opened in 1977. large exhibitions were organized that sought to reassert paris as a major player in european art. these exhibitions were planned by punters who 10 the 1st director of the central pompidou. will

also be included the series paris new york paris berlin paris moscow. these exhibitions managed to change the public's view of modernism. but afterwards it became clear that something essential had been left out of the new york it was not moscow berlin paris and new york that were important but vienna and the paris club after this realisation home and to fill this oversight with an exhibition of begin to ease modernism it was staged of vienna without paris vienna independent of paris it spotlighting viennese culture at the turn of the century because news that we the french owed so much to this culture including do it on she were going she did yes. in the late 1912 sheila rented a studio in the hit singing neighborhood of vienna very close to

a good stuff tim's last studio was the respectable family of the locksmith few 100 homes lived across the street. sheila married edith the younger of his 2 daughters in june 915. i think it was the winter of 1914 i had at once with each sent a little letter inviting us to join him for a movie at the apollo theater. that he'd also written that his girlfriend's valley would be coming along so we could feel entirely safe. he said he really wasn't an apache one of us thought that that was the word he used he was telling us he wasn't a scoundrel that's a question of you. and what happened then. than happy to mission i fell in love with him.

the end our. poll was. it appears you had quite an influence on going to see the amistad man and that's after he had to learn that at some time or other an artist must also grow up in the i can germany there was a publication called the action if i stayed focused solely on expressionist art and its social and political impact in europe. it always portrayed the important people those who brought about change for end or at least reveled these at some invests and she's in set in september 1916 they published a special edition of our take on it just him no.

i have you no longer had any time for that sort of games he played before we fought to. have as a soon neither of us was to have any time for anything fear if i hope it's man kind of no time for one another or for life. edith was 6 months pregnant when she died of the spanish influenza on october 28th 918 gone succumb to the disease 3 days later just 2 weeks before the armistice was signed a campian the war is over and i must go these were it on sheila's last words. in many ways a go on she appears as radical today as he did in his own time because even

a century after they were produced his works exude a palate that leaves me with electrified the sheilas it should be as if they say it's hard to escape shiva his work is so immediate so raw and direct it's an experience that can be described as beyond art it's about more than technique there's a spiritual or magical component that transcends what you're seeing on the canvas or drawing if it's like an encounter with another dimension and something entirely different out of the been so wonderful for coming.
